Mammut Barryvox S2 Transceiver Sneak Peek - VIDEO
Coming for the 2023/24 ski season is Mammut’s new Barryvox S2 Transceiver. Based on the current Barryvox S Transceiver, the S2 is said to be ”one of the most compact and intuitive avalanche transceivers on the market, providing precise search assistance to quickly locate avalanche victims” with features that enable faster and more accurate location of buried subjects. This new S2 version is lighter and smaller than its predecessor and comes with a unique new MIP Technology display which provides exceptional clarity and good readability even in strong sunlight. Thanks to MIP technology, the display is always easy to read in all weather conditions and even with polarized sunglasses on. The high-resolution display makes it possible to create an animated user interface that provides more accurate information at all stages of the search.With an impressive range of 70 meters, the Barryvox S2 offers very powerful search functions with reliable support even in complex scenarios which is ideal for beginners. To keep you safe, the Barryvox S2 continuously checks its own operation with a self-test function and is equipped with a rescue send function & automatic switching from search to send.
The Barryvox S2 has an intelligent fine search to help searchers locate buried victims as quickly and accurately as possible. Direct guidance is shown on the display along with audible guidance during the detailed search to provide optimal support during this most critical and stressful phase of rescue operations.
The unit interactively guides the user to the target, shortening the search path. Once the minimum burial depth is reached, the probe display provides visual and audible guidance, seamlessly transitioning the user from precision search to point search. In an emergency situation, the Barryvox S2's instructions ensure that the rescue succeeds faster, the correct action is positively confirmed under stress, and the error rate is minimized.
The Barryvox S2 uses voice and acoustic search instructions to better support the rescuer in all phases of the search so rescuers can keep their visual focus on the snow surface, allowing them to concentrate on locating buried subjects quickly and accurately. There are also supporting audio instructions and audible feedback to guide users through each step of the search process. During these critical moments, voice prompts and additional guidance on search speed and search pattern are provided.
The Barryvox S2 has a Bluetooth interface that allows it to be connected to the new Barryvox App to update firmware and configure individual device settings. The app also provides an expanded user manual and additional avalanche safety information.
